UCLA vs USC vs Cal vs UNC Chapel Hill

Hi, so I was lucky enough to get accepted into these four great universities. I applied for neuroscience and am a premed. I am very conflicted as I was leaning towards UCLA at first, but after hearing about grade deflation at the UCs I am worried about the harsh competition.

Which one of these schools would provide the best opportunity to get research, maintain a high GPA and med related ECs and internships?

Is premed at UCLA better because of the high ranking medical school and medical institutes on campus

Which one of these universities would give me the best shot at getting into med school?

The cost of attending the university is not a factor as they are all around the same for me.

Any help would be appreciated!

I’m on the same boat here! Chapel Hill has a hella high med school acceptance rate though. I think its’ around 80-90%.

I’ve read that that is only for a particular program though and that they are sort of biased against OOS students - although I am not sure of the veracity of the claim. Have you decided which one you’re going to? Do you have any more info about med school acceptancces from these ones?

I believe that the program is the Medical Education Development (MED) Program which boasts a 88% acceptance rate.
